Sausalito used to have one that said "Cholesterol Free Zone," too. No studies were ever done on its efficacy AFAIK.

I thought their thoughts were more like white noise...

Of course their crime free zone didn't work. You can't just put up a sign saying "Crime Free Zone". You also have to pass a law making it illegal to commit a crime in a crime free zone. Dumbasses.

We keep voting Democrat, but we're still poor.

Classic. Never suspecting that there might be a cause-effect relationship here. And they'll stay poor, because that's how the Dems want them. Poor, uninformed, and ready to believe the Dems' promises of free stuff.

The problem with the "crime free zone" sign, and others of its ilk, is really education. If we gave more money to the teacher's unions, sorry, I meant schools, then criminals would be able to read the signs and know they had to commit their crimes elsewhere.

This is all the fault of conservatives who want to keep our criminals, sorry, I meant poor people, down.
